Carrot Crosses for Deviled Eggs at Easter-Simple Tutorial

I've had these Carrot Crosses for Deviled Eggs on my mind for a while now and finally decided to give them a try. They are very easy and I love the pretty color to spruce up a favorite deviled egg recipe.

If you'd like to learn about perfect hard boiled eggs or how to dye the whites click HERE.

Peel and wash a fat carrot, thinly slice it on a steep diagonal (a little wider than 1/8" thick).

I just free-handed the crosses, you could make some paper templates to cut around if you'd like.

The bits and pieces of leftover carrot are great for soup.

Since carrots tend to dry out, if you cut them ahead of time store them between damp tea towels.
Add them to the eggs just before serving.

When I first glanced at this I couldn't figure how you could have made those crosses..Very impressive and clever! This would be a great project to do with the kids. Off I go to forward this to my daughter for the children. Thanks and have a lovely weekend xo

These are SO perfect for Easter. We always have deviled eggs for everyone to enjoy, but I love the meaning of the cross especially! I hope you have a Buona Pasqua (Happy Easter), my favorite holy day of the year!

THIS is a cool idea! I'm just not sure I have a steady enough hand to do it. I will have to trick ye olde husband into it! :-) I'm going to click over there to see about dying those egg whites. Have a great weekend!

This is a great idea, Lynn, since it seems like most everyone serves deviled eggs on Easter Sunday. I love deviled eggs, and the orange color of the carrots looks nice with the yellow yolks. The symbolism of the cross is just perfect for Easter. Thanks for sharing, Lynn, and have a wonderful week.
